Notes

Expert Tips:
  • Top and tail your green beans before cooking them.
  • Make sure the beans are in one layer in your air fryer basket to ensure the hot air can circulate around each bean. Depending on what size air fryer you have, you may need to air fry them in two batches.
  • For a crispier crunchier bean, air fry for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Larger beans may take 8-10 minutes to cook.
 
Variations:
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or chilli powder if you like your food hot!
  • Top with grated Parmesan cheese for a cheesy version! You might also like my air fryer broccoli Parmesan recipe too!
  • Use different herbs and spices such as oregano, thyme, Italian seasoning, curry powder, or even smoked paprika!
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice at the end of cooking.
  • Garnish with freshly chopped herbs such as parsley and basil.
 
Storage:
Air fryer green beans are best eaten fresh, straight out of the air fryer.
Store: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and either reheated or added to salads.
Reheat: Place the green beans back in the air fryer (220c) for 2 minutes to warm up. Alternatively, they can be reheated in the microwave.
Freeze: Not suitable for home freezing.
